Rockies wish they would fall asleep on April 30th and wake up on June 1st after two awful May campaigns in a row.
If I were the Rockies, I would find some way to get baseball to take a 31 day break from April 30th to June 1st. This is the 2nd consecutive season in which their May has been awful. Nothing is going right and the Rockies are sliding into a hole they might not be able to get out o...

Most believe the Orioles’ 2011 season, its first full year under mastermind Buck Showalter, has been over since mid-May when they really took a plunge in the Eastern standings and have never been able to lift themselves up and get back on track.
Nick Markakis actually hits better on the road (.288) than at home this season (.277).
Entering the season, fans finally had reason to rejoice and ev...

Colorado’s roadtrip began in Cleveland where they took two out of three from the Indians. The Rockies then made their first trip to the New Yankee Stadium and won the first of three. The roadtrip would end with a three-game slide as the Rockies would lose the last two to the Yankees and then lose a make-up game to the Chicago Cubs on Monday afternoon.
There were some positives to take awa...

The Blue Jackets will play two games on the road and two games at home in the upcoming week. They will look to continue their undefeated streak on the road as they hold a 3-0 record. All three of their losses have come at home as they have struggled defensively, however, they have won their last two games at the Nationwide Arena.
Saturday, Oct 30 – Columbus vs. Colorado
Tuesday, ...

For the second consecutive year and fourth time in eight, the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees will lock horns in the opening round of the postseason. New York has emerged on top in each of the previous three series, winning nine of 11 games, yet there is a different feel this time around.
The Twins are no longer the overachieving, lovable underdogs built on speed and defense, a cast that o...

So here we are, another Jays season in the books and 85-77 looks a whole lot better than the 100-loss season that certain ‘experts’ (okay, me) were projecting heading into the year.
Let’s take a look back at the highlights and a few lowlights, as well as what it all means moving forward, with an end-of-season team report card. Keep in mind that player grades are based on relative expectat...

It was fitting, almost as if it couldn’t happen any other way, that Amar’e Stoudemire scored the first basket of the preseason for the Knicks. A quick, turnaround drive punctuated by an emphatic slam dirtied the Knicks score sheet early on in the 125 – 113 oversees defeat of a team denoted on ESPN.com as Milano Milano.
Stoudemire made no secret of the fact that he i...

In its Big Ten conference opener, the No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes beat the No. 22 Penn State Nittany Lions 24-3 on Saturday evening at Kinnick Stadium. In a crowd alternating between black and gold sections that depicted stripes, the Hawkeyes' score represented its largest win over the Nittany Lions since its 19-0 win in 1930 along with its continued dominance against the team: their eighth win in ...

Lose two games in a row, the last one being a disaster of epic proportions and people will start questioning how good you are. The questions were in full effect last night as the 9-3 Calgary Stampeders hosted the 9-3 Montreal Alouettes in a possible Grey Cup preview.
The Calgary Stampeders responded to all the questions by thumping the defending Grey Cup champions 46-21 in front of 31,167 home ...

The Chargers have started the 2010 season with a 1-2 record. Both of the Chargers loses have come on the road. If you are a Chargers fan it is no secret how much better we play at home, like most of the teams in the NFL. With the game being at home you can expect the offense to be run much more smoothly and the defense to take advantage of the other teams mistakes and maybe get some turno...

Sure, FIU is 0-3 on the season and technically have been in every game they have played in so far. But there is room, since they have all been tough out of conference road games, for fans to be pleased with the improvement this team has shown compared to it's putrid 2009 year.
The team has shown a more consistent, improved defense. Let's not throw out the big plays that have killed the Golden P...
